After being here for 6 and a half years, I’m going up the i360 today
Just like any respectable citizen that lives in this city, I don’t like the eyesore that is the i360, and have decided that there’s no need to go up it. Why would I go up it to get a shitter view than what I can if I go up a medium sized hill? But anyway, my sister got me and…

i360 finally busy again
They’ve gotten rid of the ridiculous cricket and shipping containers and have added multiple sitting places indoor and out, along with food and bars. Far more inviting than the previous setup and great to see it busy once again. Some of the nearby businesses may suffer since it…

"Want to thank the wonderful, sparkly and all round fabulous Toyah for her warm welcome at the i360.
Was inspired by her delicious looking iced coffee and ordered one! It was delicious btw! There’s a much more approachable feel to the cafe/bar area that I now like to pop to to have a beer or coffee which I probably wouldn’t have done before (!)
Went on a sunny day and there was a lovely mellow Cafe Del Mar feel about it.. great music too. Love the seating on the beach too.. view is epic!
The prices for residents to use the i360 are very reasonable (£5 I think?) so I’ll be dragging the fam down soon. Look forward to spending more time here! All the staff are excellent btw.. super friendly and well informed. Keep up the top work guys!"

"Worth booking ahead to save a little money. £20 each person. The i360 holds maximum 200 people.
Views were fantastic. Best on a clear sunny day. Or evening sunset.
Bar service was great. We enjoyed a glass of champagne as we travelled upwards to the highest spot."
Alan Staniford
"Great experience, love go on attractions like this one which take you high up so you can see across wherever you are in this case Brighton. It was a very smooth ride, you could t feel any motion until you looked at the centre pole. I would highly recommend doing this."
